Re: [Dev-C++] Inheritance

[Robert A. <ral...@gm...>]

If you make the constructor private then you will need to create a
friend to invoke it.  Why would want to not allow another class to
include your class as a base class?  The best you can really do is
make all the methods private which would negate most of the reasons
for using it as a base class.    I won't say never, but it's generally
a bad idea to make all of your constructors private though you can
make some of them private if you like... but that means your class
needs to be able to invoke them, either directly or via a public
static class function.
